We need not remind the readers OF the
Stockman of the approaching Exposition
and State Fair that will take place At
Wheeling, W. Va, the first week in Sep.
TENDER. We wish, however, to call the
attention of breeders and fanciers of live
stock and manufacturers of all kinds OF
machinery to the excellence Of the Fair,
For years this exposition has been man.
aged on business basis. While the citi.
zens OF Wheeling and OF the rich apricul.
tural sections of West Virginia, Pennsyl-
vauia and Ohio that surround it have
taken great pride in making this enter
prise success, yet to the credit of all con.
cerned it should be said that it has richly
paid them to do 80. No one is expected
to work for nothing. No one is expected
to exhibit for glory alone. So, g = {,
The premium list has been generally ya.
vised and judiciously extended. The
American Jersey Cattle Club have offered
q special prizs of $780, The arrangement
for stalls and other accommodations for
exhibitors have been greatly improved.
and 1t is hoped that exhibitors will assist
to complete and perfect arrangements by
early entries. We believe this is being
done; for We know that on Friday, JULY
%. entries Of fourteen horses were made.
making fifty horses entered at that early
date. The horse department is usually
full OF fine specimens, and we know OF no
place where owners Of pure bred horses
can exhibit to better advantage, Z
= Former exhibitors will be pleased to
know that most OF the experienced and
efficient Department Superintendent will
again serve them. . ., i7f5il--s77..,Tj"'T1

eistant Secretary Maynard have had their
attention called to certain alleged i'm
proper methods employed, edecting a

immigrants upon the payment Of certain
considerations to the Commission for the
right; that they make combinations with
railroads and charge the immigrants IS
much for passage to Chicago in an immi-
grant car taking four days to make the
trip as is regularly charged for frst-class
fare, and that they also take advantage
and make extortionate charges for immi-

any OF the banks. A..

the Surveyor General had received direct
